#48 - Don't Like Pills

Last Pill

I've been taking Letrozol for 5 years. It's been cutting down my chances of cancer recurrence.

Yesterday, I took my last pill. Some breast cancer patients take it for 10 years, but  my doc said 5 is good for me. This stupid pill has aged me faster. It's caused joint pain and it's aged my skin, among other things. Yesterday I swallowed that last pill and said Good riddance! I took no pill this morning and I felt like I should do a dance!

Good Memory

5 years ago today, I rang the bell after my last radiation treatment. That was a good memory.

I don't like having cancer in my medical history. But I'm okay with having cancer in my memories. This guy made breast cancer and those chemo & radiation treatments, a whole lot more tolerable. We made some good memories.

​10 Weeks

​Yesterday marked 10 weeks, since Don's bypass. I said he should ring the old school bell. He laughed and said no. He's pretty much healed from surgery, but he hasn't been able to get an appointment with an orthopedic about his back. Okay, we'll wait.

But tonight we got the 6 foot tree up. Don guided me and I managed most on my own. Glad we didn't get a larger one.

Then I found a bell ornament. "Okay, I'm ringing this for both of us!"

    Cancer, Covid
    & Coronary...


    I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done.

    On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021.

    CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C".

    ​Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent!  I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post!
